Mac is on the side of the road in New Jersey, injured and trying to flag down a car for help. Most of the cars just pass him by. Finally, Mac steps out in front of one car and forces the driver to stop in order to avoid hitting him. He approaches the window and looks inside at Lauren Santana.

Lauren is cautious and won't roll the window down to let Mac speak to her. He tells her he's with the NYPD and just needs to use her phone to call for help. When she sees that he's really injured, she reluctantly agrees, telling him he'll have to stay outside the car. Mac is trying not to fall over as she reaches for her phone. In no time at all, a helicopter is circling over Freedom Way, and Mac waves to let them know he's there.

Jersey City and New Jersey State police officers rush around with uniformed officers and detectives. Reporters gather just beyond a barricade. This is a crime scene now. Mac is with a paramedic, and Stella stands by. He has a headache, he's dizzy and his vision is blurry. The paramedic tells him that he's got a complex concussion. He bandages Mac's head wound and tells Stella that he already tried to convince Mac to go to a hospital--Mac won't budge, not even for Stella.

Meanwhile, the Jersey police are hard at work. The unmarked police car Mac was in at the end of "Hostage" is pulled from the water, its doors open and water spilling from the inside. Nearby, two divers emerge with a body: it's Derrick James (Dayo Ade), the man who robbed the bank and killed the bank manager in the season four finale. There is a gunshot wound near his jaw-line, and Flack can tell that something isn't adding up.

While the team tries to find the missing gunman, "Joe"/Douglas (Elias Koteas), things become more complicated when another dead body turns up: Lauren Santana, the woman that let Mac use her phone. Flack tells Adam to give him two hours before reporting an important piece of information: the car Lauren was driving belonged to his sister, Melanie.

Flack goes to visit his sister, a bartender in her early twenties, to see if she might be involved in whatever is going on. Melanie has no idea what Flack is talking about, and she tells him she just let her friend Lauren borrow the car. The relationship between the two siblings is obviously strained, and Flack tells her that he won't bail her out if she's in trouble again.

It looks pretty much like a one case episode, and Sinclair is back. The team are investigating the death of a woman named Elaine Steele. In the course of the investigation they are looking for a life size silicone doll. Stella, Flack and Lindsay visit a factory that makes them, and later the team question some of the doll owners. I think that may be the source of some amusement and disbelief throughout the episode. Flack and Lindsay in particular have a potentially humourous exchange about the dolls. Everyone seems to be on the case, Danny and Flack look to have some good screentime and do an interrogation together. Also, Hawkes meets up with Greg, an old college friend, and despite his initial friendliness, Greg later asks Hawkes to compromise some evidence in the Elaine Steele case.

According to CSI Files sources, the second episode of CSI: New York's fifth season will be called "Page Turner". The episode finds the team dealing with a very dangerous killer: radiation. Two victims show up with thallium poisoning, and the team has to figure out where and how they were poisoned to prevent any more deaths.

One of the victims is Liza Carpenter, a young woman found with graffiti designs painted on her body. Adam runs the patterns through the GraffitiStat Database, which can identify the unique designs of a particular artist. The database is able to give them a name: Kenneth Bamford, aka K-Blam. He started out painting walls and now he's moved on to painting people. But did his art cause Liza's death?

In K-Blam's studio, artists are airbrushing designs on sexy female models. The women aren't wearing much aside from the paint, but they have paper paint masks on their faces. K-Blam is in the middle of painting one of the models, sprinkling blue glass microbeads over the fresh paint to make the design sparkle. Stella and Danny, accompanied by a team of CDC techs, interrupt their work by storming into the vibrantly-painted warehouse space. The group is wearing safety suits and carrying Geiger counters.

The techs test all of the paint in the warehouse, looking for any sign of radiation. Nothing causes the Geiger counters to react, but Stella and Danny speak to K-Blam about Liza. He remembers her and says her complexion wasn't that great when he painted her--she had a rash on her cheeks. He didn't pay attention to the rash and just painted over it. He tells Stella and Danny that she left looking better than she did when she came in. Danny asks K-Blam what kind of paint he used on Liza, and the artist says he didn't use anything out of the ordinary: an oil-based paint that is non-toxic and hypoallergenic.

The poison is ultimately traced to a book from the New York Public Library: their second victim, Dante Gunther, tore a page from the book. The morgue becomes an exposure control facility to prevent anybody in the lab from being exposed to the radiation without a protective suit--but it's too late. The team has a deeper interest in this particular investigation: a personal connection. Sid Hammerback, their colleague and friend, is fighting for his life in the hospital as they rush to find out who is responsible.

According to CSI Files sources, "Turbulence" opens with Mac on a plane, heading to Washington, DC to give his testimony during a trial. The plane hits some turbulence, and Mac tries to calm the man across the aisle from him, Ned Riley. Ned is an inventor on his way to Washington to file a patent. While Ned is talking, Mac sees one of the flight attendants rush by.

A second flight attendant moves toward the back of the plane and Mac watches her close the curtain behind herself. Mac gets up and heads to the curtain, showing a flight attendant his badge and asking what is going on. The woman opens the door to one of the plane bathrooms and shows him the cause of their distress: a dead body on the floor.

Mac asks who discovered the body, and one of the flight attendants speaks up. She saw blood coming under the door while she was belted into her seat during the turbulence. Mac kneels down to look at the victim and at the source of the blood: a wound on his neck. Mac tells them the man's carotid artery was severed, but they can't see anything that would have caused the damage.

Mac pushes the man's jacket aside to get a good look at something on his belt: a badge. This man was a Federal Air Marshal. He pushes the jacket farther back and sees that the man's shoulder holster is empty. Whoever killed him stole his gun. They could be dealing with an even more serious situation here.

Mac returns to his seat and asks Ned to accompany him to the back of the plane. Ned is the only passenger that Mac is sure could not have killed the Marshal--he was beside Mac the whole flight. Mac tells Ned to keep an eye on the rest of the passengers, looking for any suspicious behavior.

One of the flight attendants gives Mac a first aid kit, and he puts on the rubber gloves inside. He checks the victim's pockets, but he doesn't find his identification. The man had been sitting in row 16, but there is no name listed for that seat. A flight attendant tells Mac that Air Marshals sometimes change seats. Mac goes to look at row 16 but finds nothing.

On the way back, Mac sees a spilled drink on a lowered tray in front of an empty seat. He checks the flight manifest and asks the attendant where James Turner is. She remembers the man and points him out, now sitting in row 30. He's sweating and looks nervous, and Mac sees a spot of blood on his shirt cuff. He's found his primary suspect.

An aircraft hangar is hastily prepared for the investigation. NYPD, Homeland Security, FBI, Port Authority Police--everybody's taking part in this. Stella, Hawkes and Adam come to the hangar to help. Things get more complicated when they discover that their Federal Air Marshal isn't really an Air Marshal at all--the real Marshal is dead, and their victim was impersonating him. So who killed their imposter?

Veasey reveals that the role was originally going to be small, but then they met Munroe and "she was so his sister and so authentically New York and so wonderfully young and beautiful and shifty and dangerous that we were like, 'Oh my God, this is a great opportunity.' It adds a great human element to Eddie's character, and [her presence] will touch a lot of other people, including A.J. and Stella." _______________
